If the volume of the gas containing n number of molecules is V, then the pressure will decrease due to force of intermolecular attraction in the proportion

A

`n//V`

B

`n//V^2`

C

`(n//V)^2`

D

`1//V^2`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
Vander Waal.s equations-
`(P+(an^2)/V^2)(V-nb)=nRT`
`P=(nRT)/(V-nb)-(n^2a)/V`
Here `(n/V)^2` represents the reduction in pressure due to intermolecular attraction
